LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A five mile stretch of the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265) in northeastern Jefferson County has been reopened to traffic after fallen power lines led to detours Thursday night.
According to Andrea Clifford with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Snyder was closed between KY 22 (exit 35 - Brownsboro Road) and KY 146 (exit 30 - LaGrange Road) while LG&E crews removed the lines from the roadway.
After a closure lasting around two hours, traffic was moving again on the Snyder around 10:30 p.m., but everything was back to normal. The ramp from Westport Road to southbound I-265 remained closed because of crews working on the lines. The closure was expected to remain until early Friday morning.
What caused the lines to fall is unknown.
